Bright, saturated colour, lovely lines and shapes. As you've focussed in on a part of the boat, leaving room in front is not essential. I'll leave the critique to the experts but I think this is very good as it stands (or floats ).

I love boats, especially barges (or narrowboats), Elaine, and like the detailed closeup, the bright colours, shadows and ripply water. The signs of disrepair have come across beautifully, but I'm surprised, most owners are very proud of their watercraft. Everything is nicely in focus, and I think the image looks fine as it is. In fact, I would go as far as to say this is my favourite in your portfolio.

Thanks for your kind comments. I hoped this shot would be liked by others. I like it, but I'm not very confident that I can identify my better shots from the "cringe-worthy" ones at the moment.

P.S. I've started my yoga home practice today after 6 weeks of recovering from my op. Did a few "cat" and "down dog with bent knees", ujayii breathing and a little stretching - only did 15 minutes but felt better for it.....................and so my yoga journey starts again!!

Om Shanti

Namaste, Elaine.
So glad to hear you are getting back into yoga after your op.
The cat and dog are proving a bit problematic for me because there is arthritis in my wrists, but I persevere.
The poor wrists have to contend with the weight of my body, but that is going down slowly.
Pamela.
